You may hire Harry and his team if you are OK to have splits, fissures, and cracks on your simple & basic pavers floor in patio; a little later 2 years of installation. Pavers is designed to last a lifetime or last for decades, they may develop cracks at some point, but shouldn't be happened two years later if properly installed. We hired Harry & his team after talking to him & confirmed his company was licensed as advertised. Harry seemed a professional & knowledgeable at that time (8/2018). In Jan 2021, we contacted Harry after we noticed more than multiples splits, fissures, & cracks on pavers floor. Harry's initial response was repairing them ourself by purchasing a 50 lbs bag of joint sand, spreading it over gaps and spraying water over. He did let us know that when the rain poured down too often (in the OC? Seriously?), cracking happens and unavoidable but it is not a major problem. Harry also advised us to compare our cracked pavers to the common community areas pavers floor because our cracked (pavers) gaps are really not that bad. After we asked Harry to stop by when he can to help/teach us how to repair those gaps before pavers shift or gaps get bigger & deeper. Harry completely stopped responding our calls, texts; what a bummer, shame, unprofessional, disrespectful guy! Recently, I found out that many reputable contractors offer to guarantee their work for at least two years, preferably five. Also, the paver and wall installation industry even recommends that contractors guarantee their work for at least two years. Pls, know that the GreenCali warranty is 6 months from installation. read more

Just got my hardscaping, lighting, gas lines, irrigation, etc done with GreenCali and I am very happy. We purchased a new home and the backyard was dirt for months. Harry has been communicative and patient throughout the whole process. I got quotes from a couple of other landscapers. Some were more expensive, not informational, and some disappeared on us! Very interesting that companies just do not care about getting your business. Harry is very knowledgeable. He was able to answer all my questions. Harry is great and really listens and works with you on your budget and needs. The workers showed up everyday to work on the backyard. My backyard looks great! See the picts that I posted. I am waiting for the approval from HOA for the plants. Harry and his crew will be back to do the planting after HOA approves. I would definitely recommend GreenCali for your next landscape project. THANK YOU HARRY!! HAPPY LANDSCAPING! read more

Before we hired GreenCali, we received about five other estimates from various landscape contractors. From the start, Harry was upfront and honest about what he and his crew could accomplish for us. He gave us some much needed suggestions and recommendations as well. In addition, his estimate was the most competitive so I decided to research a bit more through Yelp, BBB, Google, etc. and all the reviews were positive and outstanding. We were confident from the start that Harry and his men would do the right job. To say the least, it's been a positive and worthwhile experience for us so far. Harry and his crew did an excellent job constructing a planter (~100 linear feet), a new sidewalk, a fire pit, irrigation system, and new sod (~1,100 feet). The crew came in on a Thursday and worked continuously into the following Tuesday. Throughout the entire process, Harry was extremely professional and on top of everything. He was in constant communication with me, letting me know how things were progressing with his calls and voicemails. If I had a question, he typically responded within a few minutes. He was so easy to deal with. Even after the incredible work was finished, Harry instructed me on how to handle our lawns, and he even checked on the progress and set the timers weeks after. Please give Harry a call. You won't be sorry and should have every confidence in his crew's abilities and workmanship. read more

Harry and his crew did a fantastic job with our backyard. Even after the job was done, he would come back to make sure all the sprinkler system, grass, and lighting was working. He's a very hard working guy. Oversees the entire project, day in and day out, with his crew. Thanks Harry, we'll definitely keep in touch and recommend you to others read more

My backyard now looks presentable thanks to Mr.Kim and his crew. The messy weed/grass got replaced with pink gravel and organic garden. Also I got about 60 new plants planted. My broken sprinkler also got a facelift. Can't wait to see the plants grow and work on the organic garden~ read more

I hired Harry and his team for our backyard remodel project after talking to him and he seems like honest guy and knowledgeable of concrete. I was wrong. On the day the concrete was planning to pour, it was raining like crazy. I told him to wait for a few days until the rain has stopped, but he didn't listen to me and rush through the pouring concrete process.A few days later, I have noticed discoloration on my concrete and voiced my concern to him. He reassured me my concrete will be dry and will be the same color in a few months. I waited for 6 months and 1 year but my concrete discoloration is still there.Not to mention there are concrete cracks too. I contacted him recently and show him his work. He told me he has no idea how is this happened and he will talk to his guys. 1 week passed by, nothing heard back from him. I followed up with him and he still couldn't tell me what his guys did wrong. He wanted to charge me $2k to paint my whole concrete to fix discoloration after I paid him almost $30k on this project. Harry lack of knowledge, lack of integrity and cutting corner manner is very despicable. To this day I am so disgusted and embarrassed by my concrete that I would not even bother to invite friends over.I would not hire him for any of future projects and I would recommend others to careful and not fall by his talk or his endless pictures of his works... read more

I have been using Green Cali for about 2 years for front and back yard maintenance. At first, Harry and his crew did a great job; cut my grass, shrubs and fertilized my grass every few months. After about 8 months, things started to go down hill. About every other month, Harry's workers would break a sprinkler head and not even tell me about it. They damaged several areas of my concrete and have been doing a terrible job in clean up. Every single time I try and contact Harry, its about a 3-4 day response and he only takes off 5 dollars from my bill if I mention it to him, how about actually fixing what you broke. Can't say much about his landscaping, but his general maintenance is terrible. read more

GreenCali - Damaged my concrete. This was not there the day before service as I was cleaning the yard. Still waiting a response..... - Landscaping Near Me - Buena Park, California

Greencali did a great job with our small yard (landscape, hardscape, irrigation, lighting). Harry communicates well, is punctual, responsive, and very thoughtful in his design suggestions and pricing. He was mindful of our design aesthetic and our low maintenance, low water usage preferences when drawing up our plans for our HOA. He and his foreman work one job at a time so he is able to oversee the job site to make sure everything goes according to plan. read more

Harry quoted my landscape project and started the work within a week. His quote was verbal. I was uncomfortable with a verbal quote so he wrote one on some blank paper and signed it. I wanted to be sure he did what I wanted and it did work out that way. His crew worked for 4 consecutive days except Sunday and finished the job in a timely fashion. Harry's cost was reasonable. There were no surprises. Harry was organized and the job went smoothly. He provided good paperwork at the conclusion for me to use for a rebate from the water district. read more

We used Harry and his team for our back yard hardscape and landscape. His prices are very reasonable and he finished everything on time. He helped out with any problems and gave his recommendations and other ideas. We renovated our whole house last year and he was he only vendor that finished on time and stayed true to his price. I definitely recommend Greencalica. read more

Apparently the guy answering the phone at GreenCali has not attended a basic customer service course/seminar, watched a "how to be polite" video on YouTube, or developed interpersonal relationship skills over the course of his life. Upon answering the phone, the guy on the other end of the line simply said, "Jell-O?" Not necessary the worst way to start a conversation on the phone, especially because I have fond memories eating Jell-O with my pappy on warm summer evenings as a child. His greeting, however, left me wondering if I had indeed reached GreenCali or if my chubby fingers dialed the wrong phone number (damn you pappy and your Jell-O snacks!). I then asked if I had reached GreenCali, to which his response was, "Who is this?" Who am I? Well, for starters I am a dude with plenty of free time to write a review on Yelp critiquing your bad customer service. Again, I attempted to clarify I was trying to reach GreenCali. The guy then says, "What do you want? I'm asking again who you are and what do you want." I then says to him, I says, "Sir, I'm trying to get ahold of GreenCali to help me with my yards and irrigation system." To which he replied, "I've asked you already what do you want. What do you want? Who are you?" Seeing that the conversation was going nowhere, I bid him good day and hung up. So, my recommendation to those thinking about using GreenCali is to immediately state who you are and what you want when the guy answers the phone. Also, regulate your Jell-O consumption. read more

ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE!!! I've had different contractors do different jobs at my house over the years and I could say that this company is the WORST! The owner, Harry Kim, is very rude and unprofessional. He insists on doing the job without the necessary permits from the city because he wants to do short cuts even if they do not meet code requirements. If there are problems encountered, he tries to blame it on you and tries to add on additional charges to the original contract. In my case, there was a power outage during 1 of the days his crew was scheduled to work. He tried to charge me later on for that day that he "lost". As if I have control over Southern California Edison?!!! He also tried to charge me for another extra day for hauling the construction debris. He already knew when he accepted the job that our community's HOA requires that no construction materials be left on the street, so Harry's crew had to clean up and haul all debris at the end of the day. Upon completion of the project, he asked me for more money because according to him, it cost him a extra day to haul the trash. He said it would have been easier if all the trash were collected at the end of the project. Why didn't he tell me this beforehand??? He also tried to add more charges to little things that should have been included in the contract. I had my backyard covered with cement. I'm pretty sure all honest contractors will include drainage in their quotes (who wants a paved but flooded backyard?!!). But not Harry. He waited until the 3rd day to tell me, "Oh by the way, we're gonna need to put drains or else your backyard will get flooded when it rains. And that's not included in the quote I gave you." I was so glad when the project finally got finished, so I could tell him what a scam he was. So please save yourself from a huge headache and stay away from this company and from its owner HARRY KIM. read more

Harry and his team did a great job on our yard in December 2014. They were efficient and reasonably priced compared to another estimate we received. They replanted all of our planters in the front and backyard, fixed the sprinklers, created a stone walkway and planted 5 trees. Due to the hot summer weather 2 of the 5 trees we had planted died. Harry recently replaced the trees for us at no cost (except the delivery fee). Would highly recommend and will definitely call again for our landscape needs! read more

I had a GREAT experience with Green Cali. Harry and his crew did an awesome job transforming my dirt/weeds backyard to a functional 1, 000 sq ft. paving stone that my family can enjoy. He even added a line for future sprinkler. His price is very reasonable and competitive that he even price matched another quote. Very professional and knowledgeable. Also, suggested great ideas for future projects. I will definitely call Harry again. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. read more

We had Harry and his crew transform our dirt backyard and remove some trees around the property. Within 2 days we had new sprinklers in the front and back, 7 trees and 2 scrubs gone and new sod installed in our backyard. He is very professional and very reasonably priced. Wouldn't hesitate to call them again when we need other landscaping done. read more

Harry is a pretty rude guy and doesn't take his time to explain the job and materials he will be using. Had him come out a second time to confirm what the layout we talked about and some how got confused with what we wanted then rushed out like we wasted his time. Really rude for him to do that instead of taking the time to go over the project. Will never contact him for any jobs. read more

Just finished a backyard and driveway project with GreenCali. Great job guys! Harry is straightforward and honest. He gives suggestions on what he thinks is best and cost-efficient. Finished their work on time, cleaned up at the end of the project and picked up all the debris that needs to get thrown away. Gerry is a good Foreman making sure to consult with us before he makes any changes. All workers are well-mannered and hardworking. Great overall experience and would definitely use them again in future projects! read more

Whoever answered the phone immediately sent the message that he wasn't interested in helping me. When he answered, he didn't say the business name, just a flat hello, followed by a long gap in silence. I asked if this was green Cali and he said ya, then nothing. I explained I needed general yard work help but I could barely understand him. He rushed me off the phone and hung up. Maybe I got him on a bad or busy day, but that was a poor example of business phone etiquette. read more

We are so pleased with this company entirely! I called several places and they either never showed up or I wasn't confident in them. When I called Harry he returned my call within minutes. We scheduled his 1st visit and he came 15 minutes early (he was always on time or 15 minutes early to every scheduled meeting)! He was also on the job site every day! He would inspect his workers work before they left each night. He would also be there in the mornings when they stared and inspect it during the day. His workers were also very respectful and friendly! Everything was picked up afterwards and cleaned as if they were never there (although hard to see the mess during the construction part of course). It took 2 weeks for pavers, planters, trees, plants, awning and built in BBQ (digging and moving the gas line) and drainage for the water/puddle issues we had. He kept us informed along the way with mostly text message (for us this was easier as we work full time). He would text me plant names and I would google and then pick from there. It was really easy to work with him! I'm so glad her found him! You will not be disappointed! We even added one job along the way he easily accommodated this change. read more

I am very happy with thus crew. They took care of my landscaping needs. They set up sprinkler system and gave our yard a great look. Exactly what we were looking for and at an affordable price. Would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting great work done! read more

GreenCali did a complete remodel of our front and back yard that exceeded our expectations. They replaced the driveway, added a walkway in the front, built a tiled patio, new patio cover, seating area, gates, water feature, sod, plants and irrigation. After talking to four other contractors, GreenCali was the only one willing to work within my budget. Harry provided a very clear quote with line item pricing. Harry met every timeline and commitment he made. He was on the job site everyday and kept us informed as to what would be done each day. We had the the same crew on the job every day. His crew was very professional and highly skilled. We provided a basic drawing of what we wanted but Harry and his team made several significant improvements to it. The only criticism I can make is that Harry does not work with drawings and minimal material samples. To some extent, you need to trust that he will be doing good work and paying attention to detail. The good news is that he came through in both quality design and good craftsmanship. Again, the outcome exceeded expectations. Rather than just getting a decent yard within our budget, we have truly beautiful front and back yards. I recommend GreenCali. read more

I contacted Harry to give me an estimate for the complete replacement on my front yard. This included new sod, brick hardscape as well as plants.The price quoted was very reasonable. The project was started on time and finished early. The unexpected problem were handled professionally and the price still remained the same. Harry was very attentive and every aspect showed attention to detail. I would hire him again for any landscape needs. read more

We hired Harry for our landscape remodeling project. To say the least, our experience had been very negative from A to Z. In a nut shell, it started out with a very sloppy demolition phase that they seemed to lack the required equipment and tools (they were going at it with sledgehammers). In spite of my repeated requests for them to be careful, they managed to cause undue damage. His crew is very inefficient and they have no respect for property of their clients as we found our BBQ pizza stone being used as a weight for sustaining a bender board stake without our permission. He insisted on using a fill material of dubious origin weeks before it was even needed falsely claiming that it was difficult to get the quantities required. We negotiated with him trusting that he will execute the tasks to the acceptable industry standards, only to find out he is all about taking short cuts and poor quality. read more
